doubts about my adjectives

I've always heard the adjectives are always used before the nouns and they must be in the singular. eg: "beautiful girls" and not "beautifuls girls". But what about the following words:
clothes hanger
graphics card
pants suit
sales commission
savings account
girls school
In theses cases the words "clothes", "graphics","pants","sales","savings","girls" are adjectives aren't they??

I agree with mykwyner and I`ll add that the words clothes, graphics, pants, sales, savings, girls are NOUNS attributively used. They are attributes.
